Need input for first time build

[Flacko]

this is my first pc build and was hoping I could have input from others as to what/if I should change any of the parts on my build. I’m mostly going to be gaming, but I also would like as much “future proofing” and have room for more creative projects. (Streaming/video editing/photoshop etc) I have a budget of around $2100 for the PC itself. & $400 for a 1440p 144+ refresh monitor

 

cpu: Ryzen 3600x

Cpu cooler: Kraken x62

motherboard: X570 Taichi

memory: Trident z Royal 16gb 3600MHz 16 cas

Graphics card: 5700 XT red devil/ or a 2070

storage: Team group 1Tb pcie 3.0 x4

Storage2: 3Tb seagate barracuda 7200rpm

power supply: Corsair txm 850w 80+ gold

Case: Lian-li PC-O11 dynamic

Case fans: 6x Corsair HD-120 RGB

 

My questions: should I go for 32GB ram at 3200 MHz (for same price) even though 3600 is the “sweet spot” currently for my cpu? (More ram at the cost of a few FPS) also Couldn’t I overclock the 3200 to 3600? 

 

Cpu cooling; should I go for a 360 AiO instead of a 280 for a more aesthetic look?

you don't need ram this expensive but it's very very pretty.

it is very pretty lol. I only considered spending the premium on it because of the 3600 MHz with a cas latency of 16.

You might find the Trident Z Neo priced more agreeably, still pretty as well

I found the royals for $190 while the neos are all sold out at the same specs as the royals. How much of a difference would 17 cas be to 16? I could save like $60 by switching to that slower latency

You could tune the timings, cas 16 down from 17 is certainly feasible

I'll recommend a 3200mhz cl16 kit. 

There's no point in spending extra $120 on memory.
